Trust is the product of something else. What that is is respect. When Klaus talks about stakeholder capitalism, I don’t think he is talking about people having greater freedom. Instead he is telling us that stakeholder class, the middle class are the focal point of their extraction of wealth. “We will own nothing and be happy” is not an economic principle, but rather a philosophical statement about the nature of humanity. He sees us a tools for their globalized system of wealth concentration. His disrespect of humanity in effect cancels out our human agency. His ego, possibly, blinds him not only to the transparency of this message, but also to the track record of centralized control. Where I see trust, is on the latter side of the Two Global Forces. There is the global force of centralized institutions of governance and finance. And, there is the global force of decentralized networks of relationships. What we do here in the comments is trustworthy because it is based in respect. It is growing while Klaus’ world is shrinking.
I think I would suggest he first does 10 years of intensive therapy, get in touch with his body, and work on his shadow!
